Klimatfrågan tar en större och större roll i samhällsbyggnadssektorn, samtidigt står branschen för en betydande del av Sveriges totala utsläpp av växthusgaser. Kommunernas roll i stadsbyggandet är till följd av markägande och planmonopolet betydande, det åligger därför kommunerna att axla ett ansvar i en omställning till en mer klimatanpassad fastighetsbransch. Ett av de verktyg som kommunen kan a
The inauguration of President Trump in 2025 led to drastic changes in the U.S. market, notably great political as well as economical risks and uncertainties. The U.S. equity market was struck heavily by the policies, which also heavily affected global equity markets. In this case study, we study a long-short, market-neutral hedge fund situated in London, specifically HAFP (a pseudonym for the inte
Semiconductor nanowires with high refractive index have waveguiding properties that can enhance the excitation and the quantum yield of a surface-bound fluorescent molecule, and guide and directionally emit its optical signal. Prior work has shown that this allows for enhanced optical biosensing in transparent sample matrices, with advanced image analysis techniques further improving sensitivity.
Flexoelectric effect, or flexoelectricity, is an electromechanical property of materials that causes them to polarize when subjected to inhomogeneous deformation. Despite its significance in nanoscale systems, flexoelectricity remains poorly quantified in semiconductor materials. This study aims to develop a computational framework for investigating flexoelectric effects in thin-film semiconductor
As markets become increasingly fierce in competition and rapid shifts disrupt the market dynamics, the pressure on firms to be able to adapt their business models and strategies has become a crucial aspect. The thesis adopts a qualitative multiple case study approach where the purpose is to investigate how firms are adapting their business models through dynamic capabilities in the plant-based ind
Carmilla (1872) is a foundational gothic novella that explores female intimacy, monstrosity, and transgression within a patriarchal context. While widely recognized for its depiction of same-sex desire and subversion of Victorian gender norms, the story also reveals a deeper network of violence that sustains social and gendered hierarchies. However, critical attention has often focused more on Car
As the automation of industrial systems is becoming more and more complex, new methods are needed to further boost efficiency. Machine learning is a method where a computer learns to recognize complex patterns using large amounts of real-world data. The focus of this work is to leverage real-world industrial data from a sawmill to optimize one of the machines, the unscramblers. The unscrambler se
This thesis examines brand activism's role in promoting social change through contributing to democratic debates by analyzing Oatly’s environmental brand activist campaigns in a polarized context: the United States. Therefore, the research questions chosen for this thesis examine, firstly, how Oatly discursively constructs their environmental brand activism in the United States; secondly, whet
This thesis investigates the adoption implications of AI-driven Clinical Decision Support Systems (AI-CDSS) for early breast cancer detection within healthcare workflows. Despite advancements in AI technology and its demonstrated potential to enhance diagnostic accuracy and efficiency, real-world adoption remains limited due to technical, organisational, and ethical challenges. Using a qualitative
This thesis investigates how algorithmically driven features of social media platforms, specifi cally personalized recommendations, infinite scroll, auto-play and push notifications affect university students’ emotional states and academic performance. Drawing on the Stimulus - Organism - Response (SOR) framework, the study explores how these features act as digital stimuli that provoke cognitive
Satisfying one of the most basal needs, access to housing has been a determining factor for living standards throughout history. However, in many historical cost-of-living studies, housing costs have often been challenging to measure due to the lack of data. The housing component in the consumption basket has therefore often been based on theorised assumptions or indices derived from proxy-variabl
Key words: Artificial Intelligence, AI Readiness, Implementation, Public Administration, Digitalization, Public Value. Purpose: This study investigates the Swedish Tax Agency's AI readiness across technical, organizational, and environmental dimensions. It also examines whether adoption is driven by rational decision-making or institutional pressures. The research questions are: (1) does the
I sverige använder man främst geologisk kartering, geofysik och borrning som prospekteringsmetoder, men forskning och internationella fallstudier visar att grundvattnet är en outnyttjad informationskälla som kan göra letandet efter malm både träffsäkrare och mer hållbart. När mineraliseringar vittrar läcker exempelvis metaller som koppar, zink eller litium ut i grundvattnet och sprids med flödet. In Sweden, geological mapping, geophysics, and drilling are primarily used as exploration methods, but research and international case studies show that groundwater is an untapped source of information that can make the search for ore both more accurate and more sustainable. As mineralisations weather, metals such as copper, zinc, or lithium leach into the groundwater and are transported with the
Forskningsfråga: Finns det en långsiktig skillnad i avkastning mellan bolag som genomfört en nyemission av stamaktier och ett relevant jämförelseindex på den svenska marknaden? Har emissionsmotiv en betydelse för en eventuell långsiktig avkastningsskillnad efter en nyemission? Syfte: Studien syftar till att undersöka om nyemissioner på den svenska marknaden leder till långsiktig abnormal avkastn
As organisations increasingly seek to leverage data for artificial intelligence (AI) analytical use-cases, one of the main challenges towards value realisation is effective use of data governance. Existing research on the topic of data governance focuses on technical and structural aspects of data governance, while this thesis identifies human-centred organisational success factors for data govern
Sveriges växande befolkning har lett till ökad efterfrågan på byggprojekt, men byggsektorns produktivitet har inte utvecklats i samma takt. För att möta framtidens behov krävs effektivare arbetssätt, där valet av affärsform, det vill säga kombinationen av entreprenadform, ersättningsmodell och samarbetsform, har en central betydelse. En väl anpassad affärsform kan bidra till bättre samarbete, högr
Denna studie undersöker hur den regionala fördelningen av humankapital och infrastruktur påverkat ekonomisk tillväxt i Sydafrika i efterdyningarna av apartheid. Analysen riktar sig mot tidsspannet 1996 – 2019, vilket sammanfattar åren efter apartheid till och med Covid-19 pandemins utbrott. Tillvägagångssättet för att undersöka frågan bygger på paneldata för samtliga nio regioner, där vi använt en
I studien har vi undersökt ungas attityder till partnervåld. Detta har gjorts genom frågeställningar om hur partnervåld beskrivs och vilka attityder som finns kring ämnet, samt hur dessa skiljer sig mellan tjejer och killar. Detta då det finns kunskapsluckor kring unga och partnervåld. Studien har genomförts med tre fokusgrupper, bestående av totalt 14 ungdomar som går sista året på samhällsprogra
This thesis investigates how startups in Tier 2 European cities achieve sustainable growth by engaging with their local entrepreneurial ecosystems. While prior research has largely focused on major capital cities, this study aims to understand how emerging urban canters with less mature infrastructures can still support high-growth entrepreneurial activity. A qualitative research design was employ
